Short Description

Cleocin (generic name: clindamycin; brand names include: Clindatec / Dalacin / Clinacin / Evoclin) is used to treat a wide variety of serious bacterial infections including infections of the respiratory tract, skin and soft tissue, pelvis, vagina, and abdomen.
It is also used to treat bone and joint infections, particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Cleocin kills sensitive bacteria by stopping the production of essential proteins needed by the bacteria to survive.
